8 UTR College Tennis Player Tries Pickleball

Watching these kind of singles games is much fun! Keep posting games like this. I started pickleball two months ago and I'm enjoying it much more than tennis.

Thanks so much! It was a lot of fun, it's like playing mini tennis! Will definitely try to get some more content out!

@@TheTennisTiago I took notice of the USA Pickleball frenziness about 1.5 years ago. I've never played doubles tennis. Watching pickleball doubles, I didn't like the constant bending of the knees and the very slow pace (too much dinking), but singles is like a total different story. I can play 4 games to 11 and at the 1-hour-mark feel like having played 1.5 hours of tennis, in terms of footwork. The ball actually bounces much higher than tv shows, which is excellent news for tennis players coming into this sport. I just feel that the doubles court is a bit too much space to cover laterally. I now playing one servive box until I get to a decent level and then expand it to 4 or 4.5 meters wide. 6 meters wide is a bit too much and rookies with no racketsport background will find it too demanding to cover that wide space. Still, the learning curve is super fast and the easy serve and double bounce rule makes playing point-games very accessible very soon.
